PHP Keywords

Keywords:
Keywords are reserved words.

Their meaning and purpose is already defined within the PHP. Keywords must be used only for the purpose for which they are defined.

All keywords are defined in lower case letters. Hence keywords must be written in lower case letters.

Keywords should not be used as identifiers or user defined names;
i.e. for naming variables, constants, arrays, functions, objects, etc. do not use keywords
